REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Be Active Brands, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Be Active Brands, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ deficiency for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Be Active Brands, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the two year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Be Active Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) manufacturers frozen yogurt and fudge bars and offers ice creams in various flavors. The Company intends to expand its regional growth to a national level and global presence in sales of premium quality low-fat, low calorie, low-carbohydrate, vitamin and probiotic enriched frozen yogurt and products under the brand name of Jala.

The Company was incorporated March 10, 2009 in Delaware, is based in New York and provides its products through retail stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred a significant net loss, had a working capital deficit and accumulated losses. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it become profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company through equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial Instruments

The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable, which is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of finished goods held for distribution. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, management considered such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and the distribution channel, the estimated time to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and the current expected market conditions. Adjustments to reduce inventory to its net realizable value are charged to cost of goods sold.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classified shipping and handling costs as part of selling expense. Shipping and handling costs were $129,015 and $64,411 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the appropriate accounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of such assets is credited or charged to income.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of an assets and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization of deferred tax assets is not considered likely.

Tax returns for the years from 2009 to 2011 are subject to examination by tax authorities.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses amounted to $158,307 and $43,700 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC 260 – Earnings per Share, which requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no common stock equivalents.

4. INVENTORY

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 inventory consisted of the following:

The primary obligors on the facility are two Class A common shareholders of the Company, and the Company is a guarantor. Since all of the proceeds have been used by the Company, the outstanding balance is reflected as a note payable in these financial statements. Substantially all of the Company’s assets secure this note payable.

7. DUE TO OFFICERS

Due to officers consists of unsecured loans from two officers and a former officer of the Company, payable on demand without interest.

8. CAPITAL STOCK

Common stock consists of 1,000 Class A shares authorized, issued and outstanding at $.00001, par value, at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Class B shares have the same rights as Class A shares with the exception that Class A shareholders have 10 votes for each share held. In addition, a majority percentage of the class B shareholders is required to approve most significant transactions, including but not limited to the purchase of any interest in the stock, assets or business of any corporation, partnership or other entity; the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the company; and any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation.
